What a great victory was yours,
when you defeated everyone
    who opposed you.
Your fiery anger wiped them out,
    as though they were straw.
You were so furious
that the sea piled up
    like a wall,
and the ocean depths
    curdled like cheese.

Your enemies boasted
    that they would
pursue and capture us,
divide up our possessions,
treat us as they wished,
then take out their swords
    and kill us right there.

By the blast of your nostrils(D)
    the waters piled up.(E)
The surging waters stood up like a wall;(F)
    the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea.(G)
The enemy boasted,
    ‘I will pursue,(H) I will overtake them.
I will divide the spoils;(I)
    I will gorge myself on them.
I will draw my sword
    and my hand will destroy them.’
